• There are various ways to rename files in Linux, including the graphical user interface and a number of dedicated terminal commands. Individual files can be renamed reasonably easily, however renaming numerous files at once can be difficult.
• To move files and directories from the terminal, use the Linux mv (move) command. The syntax is as follows:
• mv [options] [source] [destination]

• When you use the mv command and specify a target directory, the source file is moved to that directory. If the destination file has a different name than the source file, the mv command renames the source file to that name.
